The Groovy
way to explore the best of the Red Centre and then head on
south. Unforgettable sunrises and fantastic sunsets over Uluru
(Ayers Rock) and Kata Tjuta (The Olgas). Spectacular walks
and unforgettable sights. Star gazing and life underground
at Coober Pedy. A great BIG adventure, arrive in Adelaide
with great memories and new friends.
Day 1
No need
to rush! We leave at 1 PM so you've got all morning to get
organised. Today we head to Kings Creek Station where at the
end of the day after a hearty dinner we settle into our swags
around the campfire.
Day 2
After
breakfast we walk Watarrka (Kings Canyon) to experience the
fantastic views of the Gorge, huge sandstone walls and an
immense canyon floor. We then head towards Uluru in good shape
to set up camp and go out for our first Uluru sunset. Nothing
really prepares you for The Rock - it's awesome. After a hearty
dinner we hit the swags for an early start next day.
Day 3
Up with
the birds for breakfast, today its at Kata Tjuta (The Olgas).
We hike the majestic Valley of the Winds with its incredibly
ancient rock formations before returning to camp to spend
the rest of the day soaking up the magic of Uluru. There is
enough time to do everything including climbing Uluru, however
the Aboriginal owners would prefer it if you didn't. It's
your choice!

Day
4
After
another fantastic breakfast we enjoy a walk around the base
of Uluru and spend time learning about the Aboriginal people
at the Cultural Centre. Lunch is at the campground, with departure
for the bar and swimming pool at Kulgera Roadhouse 'just down
the road'. Dinner, lots of stories and an overnight stay at
the roadhouse.
Day 5
Coober
Pedy by lunchtime. Opal capital of the world and a landscape
a lot like Mars. The locals live underground and so will you.
After a tour of the town enjoy a beer in the pub, go 'noodling'
for opals or visit an opal shop. There's a special star-gazing
tour tonight, one of the real highlights of the trip.
Day 6
Last day.
BIG day. Incredible changing landscape, kangaroos, emus, eagles,
road trains, genuine bush characters and enough stops to keep
you happy along the way. Relax in air-conditioned comfort
and settle into our deep reclining seats as we cruise to Adelaide,
arriving around 6 PM.
What
to bring
Hat, sunscreen,
walking shoes, insect repellant, water bottle, bathers (swimming
gear), and a sleeping bag (or hire one from us for $10). Otherwise
all the usual stuff, and most important a sense of adventure!
